Mark your calendar for Tuesday, June 23, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. We are planning on holding the LWV of Roseville Area annual field trip at this time. On the trip we will learn about the work of the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District. We’ll meet at the Watershed District Office at 9:30 a.m. (just west of Little Canada City Hall) to hear about the variety of ways storm water is managed and see a video of the projects undertaken. After the visit, we’ll carpool to Central Park Elementary School and then to Maplewood Mall to observe several projects in action. After the tour, we are invited to the home of Cecelia Warner to see the native plant area in their backyard, helped by grant money from the watershed district. Bring your brown bag lunch for a picnic.
Please RSVP by June 15 to Donna Peterson (peter080@umn.edu) or Anne Haugan (ahaugan@usfamily.net)
Social distancing and masks are expected as recommended in state guidelines, However, just a reminder that following the guidelines reduces but does not eliminate the possibility of Covid-19 virus transmission. Everyone needs to use their own judgement. Do email Ann or Donna with questions or to sign up. We hope to see you there!
The LWV of Roseville Area’s Environmental Subcommittee is dedicated to improve public awareness of our climate change crisis. We provide educational programs and advocate for government and citizen actions on solutions to this
very critical existential problem of our time. We present an environmental program every April as a salute to Earth Day, April 22. We also sponsor a June field trip to educate and involve our communities. We count as recent successes
